But since my detached retina in 1989, not so much. I don't have true binocular vision any more; can't thread a needle, can't do fine detail work either (due to my left fovea being interestingly distorted by the surgical repair). And now I can add presbyopia to the list: I can't focus on small fiddly things at short range any more.
Basically, model making is right out for me -- just when I need a relaxing finger-centric hobby to give me an excuse to get away from the keyboard, and can actually afford it!

Back when I was a wee thing I made lots of kits.
